I've been wondering recently about re-setting the time of
Bear's Den to late 1999, rather than 2000. If the PCs are an SOF team sent to help the 27th TD behind the lines, and discover if the Red Bear really has gone independent, it fits better to the timeline, IMO. Use that as a start-up, rather than
Death of a Division. Then the party makes its way back to Krakow, and start the "normal" cycle.
I agree that
White Eagle or
Return to Warsaw work better as sequels to their originals, and that a "return to Europe" seems unlikely. I'd prefer to run them someday for groups that never made the last train & ship out. Primary candidates would be the US XI Corps folks who stayed on the coast, now trying to assist a pro-NATO Polish government. Second would be people who stayed too long in Krakow, for whatever reason, or POWs.
